I'm from a town about 30 miles north of Washington, D.C. called Olney, Maryland and it is still a place I like to call "home."  I started singing and dancing at a young age, mainly because my older sister did too. We grew up in a family who loved playing games, traveling, watching movie musicals, going to concerts, and listening to everything from Glenn Miller to Chicago to James Taylor to Huey Lewis and the News.

I went on to study music at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee and graduated with a BM in Musical Theatre. Nashville is one of my favorite cities in the U.S. I try and go back to visit as much as I can- what a wonderful, innovative, warm, and creative place. If you are an artist and haven't been, I highly recommend you do. You'll be inspired.
 
In 2011, I joined the national tour of Beauty and the Beast as an ensemble member and that is where I met a handsome guy named Michael Haller, who played Lumiere. As it turns out, the candelabra and the dancing fork were a perfect match. We've been married since August 4, 2013.

Nearly 8 years later to the day, we welcomed our beautiful daughter, Genevieve Rosemary Haller. August 3, 2021 was a day that changed me forever.
 
We are currently based in Phildelaphia and when I'm not working or auditioning, I can most likely be found eating frozen grapes, rooting for the Steelers, practicing yoga, or watching The Great British Baking Show.
